Simple goal: Bike & gear accommodating my disabilities.
Cannot safely drive & busses suck here.
Budget is just one year of bus passes.
Saving on bus pass & Ubers for gaps, I'll have less #MutualAid need.
Shameful treatment of #Black#Deaf employee #JalonHall by #Google. This company has more money than God; they can afford to provide world-class #accessibility and #accommodations. Not doing so (under the excuse of "confidentiality") is a deliberate choice.

Several years ago I attended a fascinating presentation by #TempleGrandin. A woman in the audience asked her, "How do we go about getting an #autism diagnosis for our son?"
Temple asked, "Does your son need #accommodations at school or other services?"
Woman: "No."
Temple: "Why are you seeking a diagnosis?" #ActuallyAutistic
The Job Accommodation Network is the first place I recommend people check out when thinking about potential disability accommodations. You can search by barrier or by disability or by job task.
For example, a graduate student could search for writing accommodations for their thesis.
This is a multilingual eye-test chart circa 1907. It was designed by optometrist George Mayerle. He said it was “the result of many years of theoretical study and practical experience.”
While it’s absolutely gorgeous, the chart was designed for usability, accessibility, and inclusivity.
Hello there. So, I never thought I'd ever be using Mastodon for this and its a longshot but I'm looking for a paid job. I'm a senior in College and I'm going to be graduating with a degree in business management in May and I want to be ready. For my skills, I'm well-versed in Microsoft products, particularly Microsoft Excel and Microsoft word though Excel is my prefered application considering I wish to work with spreadsheets. Yes, I'm totally blind but that shouldn't be an issue because of #screenreaders and #ADA#accommodations and #RemoteWork. So, if anyone is looking for a dedicated person who genuinely enjoys helping others and working with functions from #statistics to #financial functions using #appliedMath, I am willing to work for you so help me #GetFediHired. Resume will be sent apon request through DM's. Thank you, and boosts are absolutely encouraged.
